Tokyo Skytree in Tokyo’s Sumida Ward, known as the world’s tallest broadcasting tower, celebrated its fifth anniversary, with many people flocking to an event marking the occasion.

The venue was filled with a celebratory mood, with azalea trees being planted — azalea is Sumida Ward’s symbolic flower — and 634 people, the same figure as the tower’s height in meters, receiving memorial handkerchieves to mark the fifth anniversary.

According to the press office of Tokyo Skytree Town, which includes the commercial complex Tokyo Solamachi, about 26 million people visited the Skytree between its opening and the end of March, with about 180 million having visited the “town” as a whole.
